In buying these boots I was looking for a nice pull-on that would (1) stand up to fall and winter conditions in New England while (2) not looking like every other military-esque work boot out there. I believe I hit a home run with these! Great fit out of the box, little to no need to break in, and look amazing. The day after they arrived we had a typical cold, rainy fall day in New England; put them on and felt warm, supported, and comfortable. Oddly enough, these feel better on my feet after walking around all day than athletic shoes. They're probably a little big for every day wear when the weather is nice, but as a safe, dry boot that will last me through the dreary months, they will more be more than I could have asked for. I'll probably dread putting them away when the warm weather returns.My husband loves these boots! Still has them after four years and still great boots, they only thing was the inside started coming out when he would pull his foot out but we got that fitted at a boot shop!These boots are the best boots I have ever bought. I work in Ag for around 8-9 hours a day. I needed a boot that would hold my food steady as well as offer comfort. I'm 6'5 and wear a size 15, so it's very hard to find a shoe that works for me, however, these meet all my requirements. They look great with jeans and surprisingly make my foot look small.I wound up having to do very little breaking in of these boots before they were comfortable. After a few days of sporadic wear, I put them on to go to the rodeo, and probably put 4 or 5 miles of walking in them without much discomfort at all.Although somewhat large fitting, my new boots are great! It's really sloppy at my barn when it rains so I tuck my jeans inside the boot and that takes up the extra looseness. They are very water resistant from what Ive noticed. For he first few days they were hard to break in and was uncomfortable on the toes. But I've had them for 2 weeks now. Best boots I've ever had!Amazon is great on their return policy.I returned the boots.The boots had two issues1 - I'm normally a 10 EEE which was not available so I ordered the 10 1/2 EE which normally fits me but not in this boot. I could not even slide my foot into the boot.2 - one of the boots was discolored with a light mold like film on the side.It could be that I received a defective boots by mistake, but needless to say a disappointment.I can't complain about AMAZONS, I sent the boots back and they refunded my money even before they received the product back.great boots fit well and comfy used as casual boot. bought them for my wedding and now there my off work pairJust know that Justin boots run about a half size big, otherwise these boots are great. I've got them for myself and purchase these for my fiance. I think they are the most comfortable style i have ever worn and I've wear and have worn a lot of different ones.
